ParentTeacher through Nov. don Kiesel.Kiesel said that very few people Changes planned af school bring mixed emotions Change! It doesnt come easy and many will say that the changes proposed at North Sevier High School for next year will not come without much pain and adjustment. Especially for the teachers involved as they started the interviewing process this week. Much has happened since the district held planning meetings in the summer to come up with a district wide mission statement and plan for the future. In these meetings thirty plus individuals representing business, parents teachers and administration talked about change and how change could improve the educational opportunities for the children in the county. In August for a back to school night parents at North Sevier High School received their first exposure to some of the changes that could take place at the high school. From there Principal Larry has met almost on a daily - Shu-mw- basis with parents giving them the opportunity to ask questions and give input to the proposed changes. During the summer months Shumway was able to secure a $70,000 grant that would be used as planning money for teachers and administration that would be cho- sen to staff the school next year to analyze programs and curriculums. After the back to school meetings in August a Restructuring Steering Committee was formed. Two members were elected by the faculty to serve, Kevin Ashby and Ted Hallows, Cheryl Hostetter (Technical Assistant, appointed by Steve Kukic, USOE Director of k Services for Students), Gail Johnson (Grant Manager, appointed by Harley Paulson, USOE Project Assistance Service), Randy Johnson (South Sevier Middle School Principal, appointed by and representing the Sevier School District Office), Belva Post (USOE Vocational At-Ris- ay vATuiuiiiaiui, appumuxi uy Redistricting will life-lon- Continued on Page 3 Federation notes 75 years because at this meeting a constitution and by-lawere passed by the group assembled.

Some of the highlights of accomplishments in the early years of the Sevier Farm Bureau, the following was accomplished: In 1920 they sponsored an excursion to Bryce Canyon, Otter Creek Reservoir and Grass Valley; In 1922 they spent 30 minutes practicing Farm Bureau songs; In 1923 they asked county commissioners for a 2 mil tax increase; in 1924 they asked people to join a Dairy Association. The largest herd listed had 15 cows, and the smallest herd had 1 cow. In 1925 a resolution was passed noting that long tiresome meetings be discontinued. In 1926 a suggestion was made to cut the school year to eight months. In 1932 die organization had money in the then defunct State Bank of Sevier. They sponsored a baseball program. In 1934 they list hay prices at $5.91 a ton, cattle at $3.31 per cwt., horses $62 a head, and three dresses for $1.98. Over the years they were and still are, involved in many things. They sold army blankets for $2; Red Cross flour was sent to Sevier County; declined to join a taxpayers group that wanted to strike and not pay taxes. In 1968 the State Farm Bureau and several county organizations in the center of the state established the Salina Marketing Service in Salina. This livestock auc tion facility is owned mair'y by Farm Bureau and is operated by Producers Livestock Marketing Association. The Sevier County Farm Bureau has been trying to find the farm that has been under single line ownership for the longest period of time, and also who has maintained a Farm Bureau membership over the longest period of time.

Census statistics revealed that Congressional districts would need to contain about 575,000 people each to be equally distributed.

Tibbs. Olsenl attorneys, Marcus Taylor and Sylvia Colton, had petitioned the Sixth District Court for the evaluation prior to a scheduled preliminary hearing. The court order automatically ends any further court action until the examination has been made and a report given back to the District Court, according to Sevier County Attorney Don Brown. The exam could be completed in as little as 30 days, or it could last much longer, Brown explained. It was not known where Olsen would be housed during the evaluations. Olsen had been scheduled to appear before the Sixth Circuit Court to face a charge of murder in the September 8, stabbing death of William Paul Jensen, 32, in Salma. Olsen had been the object of a full scale manhunt, after escaping from the Sevier County Jail while waiting sentencing.
